γ‐Fe 2 O 3 –high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) composite films are prepared by a gel‐casting technique. To understand the effect of additives, rice husk ash and thiourea are made to disperse in the HDPE matrix to obtain the composite films with additives. The as‐prepared γ‐Fe 2 O 3 –HDPE composite films with their additives are subjected to characterization and study through X‐ray diffraction, thermal, scanning electron microscopy, and dielectric measurements. The results are qualitatively treated. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 92: 1527–1533, 2004
